Why Should I Consider VPS Web Hosting?
Lunarpages web hosting has been offering Virtual Private Server Hosting for Windows and Linux customers for years, and we host some of the biggest and best VPS-based sites in the world. Considering our reputation for reliable and redundant VPS plans in the industry, I am always shocked that many customers do not know or understand the value of VPS.
For example, did you know VPS plans are perfect for web designers and hosting resellers? Or that VPS plans give you guaranteed RAM and Managed Hosting options? Here’s some further information on our amazing VPS plans and some reasons maybe it’s time to consider VPS Hosting for yourself.
What is a Virtual Private Server (VPS)?
VPS plans are a step between Shared Hosting and Dedicated Servers. For example, many small businesses start out on our Basic Hosting Plan (which is in a shared environment, where there are around 300 customers per server) and then upgrade to VPS when they outgrow the server space. This can happen if your business grows, if you need more CPU server power, or if you prefer to be hosted on a server with less than 30 others.
What Can I Use VPS Hosting For?
Some great examples of how our customers utilize VPS Plans are as follows:
- Web Designers who need to resell hosting space
- Web Hosting Resellers who want to set each customer up with specific requirements
- Large ecommerce websites that require heavy database or CPU usage
- Medium-sized businesses that have outgrown Shared Web Hosting
- Organizations, search engines, educational websites, and more!

Why Your Website Need a Dedicated IP Address
You can easily find a hosting company selling Dedicated IP address at $2 per month. Still, there is hosting company selling it at over $80 per year. Should your website get a dedicated IP as well?
For the basic needs, when you are running a ecommerce website, and you look forward to have own ssl certificate. Then its time to get a dedicated IP address. It’s the requirement for applying for a ssl certificate. Else you will be using the free shared ssl, which appear to have extra steps for users to make payment after they checkout. Private SSL are essential for your ecommerce store.
In fact dedicated IP address, allow your website to be access directly through IP address instead of domain name. This is a extra advantage in term of speed of locating the website and speed of retrieving content. In large website architecture, each website will be having their own dedicated IP address. Its not build on shared ip address platform, which appear to be the ‘budget’ solution. If you need a fast website, get a dedicated IP.
Its appear that recent months, some ISP are blocking certain IP address, especially the China ISP are blocking the IP address to certain US hosting provider website. With the blocking, the website is not accessible by china visitors. For this, you will need to find a dedicated IP address, and you will free from the blocking issue.
When there is a need, you will need to look for a dedicated IP address. Ixwebhosting is offering up to 15 free dedicated IP per hosting account. And its all free ip address.
How to Setup Google Analytics Service
Are you finding a powerful website statistics tools ?
Out of all the web site statistics tools I have looked at and checked out for some reason I keep coming back to Google Analytics. There is plenty to come back for, as it is the most in-depth free web site stats package you are going to find.
I find after talking to webmasters for any extended amount of time though that some people are intimidated by the process of setting it up. They think it is too complicated or just something they don’t want to bother diving into.
Sure some of the features give you more information that you probably need but better to have more than not enough. To help those who still have butterflies in their bellies – here is a step by step guide to get you going.
Getting Started with Google Analytics…
Go to the Google Analytics web site and sign up for an account or login with your Google login details. You already have a Google account, right? Post login, click on the “setup” button to get going with the setup process.
Give Google Your Web Site’s Details…
Next you load up a screen that wants you to put in some information about your web site. Type in your domain name, account name and set your time preferences. The account name will be the group name for the series of web sites you use Google Analytics on.
Fill in Your Contact Information…
The next page wants you to put in your contact information. If you don’t want to do this – just select your country and you should be good to go to the next step.
Check Out the Terms of Service and Agree…
One of the last pages you will see is Google’s terms of service and legal agreement. Skim through it, read it if you want to. I know your probably not going to though. Click the “I agree” check mark box and move on.
Cut and Paste the Code!
The last step gives you a ‘bit of javascript to cut and paste onto all of your web pages that you want to track. Just copy it from there and paste it into your web site. Get past that step and your done! You have successfully setup Google Analytics.
